22.03.2013The ex-President of Moldova, Chairman of the Communist Party MP Vladimir Voronin says he doesn’t really see a particular need for holding consultations with the Liberal Democratic Party to launch the procedure of discharging Parliament Speaker Marian Lupu.

As relayed from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Stratan called inadmissible any participation in Transnistrian privatization process without prior consent from the Moldovan government.

The statement relates to an active sell-out of Transnistrian industrial property started in 2003. Last year, Tiraspol sold off, mostly to Russians, 14 large entities worth over $10.22mln; this year, the privatization is likely to involve another 100.

As it has been reported earlier, under the 2004 amendments to the privatization law, Moldova does not guarantee the right of ownership for the objects privatized without its consent on the left side of the Dniester and in Bendery.
